Great tip. Absolutely more controlled than the one handed flick, for sure. And I bet it’s just as fast when you’ve learned it properly. 👍

Got the raptor for TECC purposes. A colleague of mine said the were a good piece of kit, but a sucker to open with one hand. I found your video, tried a couple of times, and got to show off in front of said colleague, whom I later directed towards your tutorial. Thanks a lot. Love the technique.

Combat medic here. Love my raptors and I play with them a lot. I only open them with a 1 hand method if there’s a way to send a video I’d love to show u

Great video sir. I'm surprised that only one guy at the FD I was at had a pair of these. But then again, none of my partners really carried stuff on them. Since I'm the rookie, I carried trauma shears, extra gloves, a note pad, pen, pen light, flashlight and pocket knife on me. First time I ever rode day shift (I'm a night shifter) my two partners that I never rode with before ended up asking me for almost all my gear I had on me. One point, one of them was just reaching into my pocket to grab something. I just used a pair of trauma shears I got from a local drug store and they worked pretty good on a call. But I hope to get a pair of these eventually, I just got a pair from 5.11 tactical that I haven't had the chance to field test yet. I've been dealing with a lot so the outtakes at the end made me laugh. Thanks I really needed that.
